Video: Mountain Lion Sighted in Ohio?

Mountain lion sightings are becoming increasingly common across the nation, but when you think “cougar” Ohio isn’t exactly the first state that comes to mind…

From this story on fox8.com:Bill Ecrement says he grabbed his camera after his wife said she thought she saw a coyote in the field behind their home. But what Ecrement saw was not a coyote. “She thought because we had a coyote sighting that she thought there was a coyote out there,” said Ecrement on Friday.

“I said ‘no, it’s not a coyote,’ and I looked it up on the computer to show her and grabbed the camera to take pictures of it.”

The photos were taken from his kitchen window about 130 yards away from an animal, Ecrement says, was lazily sunning itself on the edge of a grassy field next door. The depth of field is hard to judge from the photos themselves, but Ecrement insists the animal he saw was much larger than a common house cat.
